You can use the filters below to either swap out the different iPhone 13 handsets, or set a budget and data limit to suit your needs.
Remember, the price of the phone doesn't actually change if you choose to buy it from a mobile provider. But it will make paying for your new phone more affordable since you're splitting the cost over a repayment period.
The best iPhone 13 plan will look a bit different for everyone. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you out:
Telstra, Optus and Vodafone are all offering iPhone 13 plans with varying amounts of mobile data allowances.
However, if you want to pay the bare minimum, Vodafone takes the cake. It's offering the iPhone 13 (128GB) for $77.47 per month on a 36-month repayment contract.
This includes its $40 mobile plan that comes with 40GB data.
Keep in mind Vodafone is known for having the least coverage from the networks, so if you're in a rural or regional area, you may want to look elsewhere.
If you're not convinced getting the iPhone 13 on a plan is the right decision for you, you could consider buying it outright.
Overall, paying upfront is always going to be the cheaper option as you can pair it with a cheaper mobile plan of your choice. However, getting on a phone contract means you can manage your money in easier to pay off instalments.
We suggest doing a further deep dive into the pros and cons of buying the iPhone 13 outright versus on a plan here before making a decision.
The best deal for you will depend on the network coverage you're after, how much data allowance you want and what bells and whistles most match your everyday needs.
Here's a breakdown of what you can get from Telstra, Optus and Vodafone.
Telstra's sweeting its deal on the iPhone 13 with three noteworthy offers:
Pair the offers above with Telstra's iPhone 13 plan over 12, 24 or 36 months .
If you choose to leave early during any of the repayment periods, you'll need to pay off the remaining cost of your phone first.
With a Telstra plan, you can expect:
Optus, too, has a couple of aces up its sleeves:
If the offers above sound appealing, you can pair them with Optus' 12, 24 and 36-month handset repayment plans. With Optus, you'll get:
Just remember that leaving before your repayment period ends means you'll need to pay off the remaining cost of your device.
Vodafone's also come in hot for the iPhone 13 launch with a few strong deals of its own:
Vodafone is currently the only provider in Australia to offer a truly unlimited data mobile plan. So if low cost and big data matters to you, give Vodafone a whirl.
If you pair an iPhone 13 with Vodafone, you'll get:
Again, you'll need to pay off the remaining cost of your device if you choose to leave early.
Apple doesn't do cheap phones so you should ask yourself if you need an upgrade.
The iPhone 13 isn't a game changer and largely has the same features as last year's model. However, there are some improvements on the camera and storage front that might be intriguing.
